Yanarta? Eternal Flame Tour

At 4.30 pm, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Kemer and head towards the scenic town of Cirali, passing other villages including Kuzdere, Camyuva, and Tekirova.

In Cirali, we'll visit its 3-kilometer (1.8 mile) beach for a swim and a stroll as the sun sets.

When the sun begins to set, we'll ascend Mount Chimera, also known as the Mount of the Eternal Fire, along a stone path. At the summit, you'll witness the legendary Yanartas fires burning continuously.

Legend has it that Lycian king Iobates asked Bellerophon to defeat Chimera, a fire-breathing monster. With assistance from Athena and Pegasus, Bellerophon captured Chimera, but its fire remains eternal.

The flames are caused by methane accumulation, with gases escaping from fissures. These fires also historically served as a lighthouse for sailors.

After this experience, we’ll proceed to Ulupinar for dinner amidst trees and springs, featuring a main course, salad, and seasonal fruit for dessert.

Finally, we’ll return to Kemer, dropping you off at your hotel around 11.30 pm, concluding the tour.
